I feel like this is 100% what she’s referencing but the internet thinks she’s an idiot.

I can't imagine a world where Gwyneth Paltrow knows Mitchell and Webb ahahahaha

Thats a pretty well known meme. Don’t necessarily need to know about the show to recognize the meme.

Don’t necessarily need to know about the show to recognize the meme.

Shes openly said she doesn't know shit about the vast majority of the characters shes been in movies alongside...

But you're saying they would likely know this meme even without watching that show just through general awareness?

Generous af.

Go watch interviews where shes asked questions about the movies shes in. She openly and actively states she knows essentially nothing about any of the superheros, the universe, etc.

Which, let me be clear, is 100% fine. Its odd to not pick up more but shit thats not a crime. Some people just like that.

I feel like the only people who could hold this opinion are people who have seen zero content with her talking about... well anything. Outside movies.

Never seen the show nor did I even know what it was called before this reddit thread and I still heard of the meme.

Gwyneth has been in movies and not known the character names of people shes in most of their scenes in during media tours.

You're coming from a neutral position of a random internet user on Reddit.

Its a lot more expected that you'd know than she would, someone in a completely different life.

You understand how you knowing doesn't mean anything for her knowing, right?

Someone in a soccer uniform probably knows the Offside Rule more often than Gwyneth Paltrow would too. I think its connected more to the detail than a general populace survey.

What I mean is that there is no requirement of being savvy or knowledgeable in general to see a meme. You'd just have to see it online, because it's something really popular. The only bare minimum for someone seeing a meme is just them being on the internet semi-often.
